Asian Medical Student Conference (AMSC)
The Asian Medical Students’ Conference (AMSC) is an annual conference of the Asian Medical Students’ Association (AMSA International) that involves the participation of hundreds of medical students from as many as 26 countries around the Asia-Pacific region.
The objective of AMSC lies in creating a platform for a strong, global network of medical students, who as future medical practitioners, will explore and develop their academic knowledge, cultural appreciation and interpersonal skills.
It comprises of three main aspects: academic, cultural and social programs. This event allows medical students from AMSA chapters to congregate, discuss and present their projects and research which were conducted based on the theme agreed upon for the conference that year. In addition, delegates can experience different traditions and customs through the cultural events organised throughout course of the conference, and gives students an opportunity to network and build lifelong friendships with future doctors across Asia, regardless of nationality, ethnicity or race.
Proudly, AMSA Malaysia is the host of Asian Medical Students’ Conference (AMSC) 1983, 1987, 1992, 1998, 2005, 2013 and 2018.
East Asian Medical Students’ Conference (EAMSC)
The East Asian Medical Students’ Conference (EAMSC), is an annual conference hosted by various cities around East Asia. At it’s inception, it aims to inspire delegates to become active in the amelioration of global healthcare problems through networking with other medical students from the East Asian region. More recently, it has expanded to involve delegates from all AMSA-International chapters allowing the exchange of ideas, knowledge and cultural understanding.
The EAMSC continues to inspire medical students to analyse global health issues more closely and to utilise the role of medical students in the promotion of public health. It challenges students to think beyond what is learnt at university through various academic and cultural activities which explore a nominated conference theme.
It is our honour to organise EAMSC twice in year 2009 and 2010 respectively.
